Now you can get lr down to 710fps so quiet and limited power but bigger and easier to Handel for hands with arthritis. standard velocity is 1050 fps also slower and not as loud. easier to find and typically cheaper than shorts.


long barrels 20-21 inches I have gone as long as 26 , make those 710 cci quiets like close your car door quiet , absolutely hearing safe and unlikely any one realized your shooting if they don't see the gun.

CCI is making shorts and I see them often enough again but they are a 29gr round and darn are those things hard to handle with XXL fingers , they don't feed in a lot of magazine fed guns , the longer case with the low velocity makes them easy

CCI even has a CCI quiet semi-auto 45gr 845fps round now it will cycle most 10/22 but you get a little pop

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
